Deciphering my identity won't stress your neurons. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, David, amigo mio,I just stumbled upon your blog.Good stuff. Well chosen, appropriate quotes from Robbie Burns to Aristotle. Intelligent, well-written and eclectically knowlegable commentary. I usually agree with you much more often than I disagree, and humbly admit that my disagreements may be more due to my lack of knowledge than your not being on, or a least in the vicinity, of the mark. <BR/><BR/>I agree that after the mass orgasm cum "habemus papa" we are in for a mass post-coital depression. I have been accused of focussing on the half-emptiness of the glass, too. What colour was that smoke that gave us Barack Hussein Obama anyways? Obama will pontify,but will all the edicts be able to bring back the American dream of heaven on earth? Is he the saviour or "IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA THE ANTI CHRIST? read on... Posted in the Oklahoma Forum " <BR/>Dog bless Amerika and the lucky few that will get "raptured". <BR/><BR/>As for "Who really understands the USA?" Who really understands anything? But, that given aside,I agree that those of us that are on the other side of the looking glass may have a clearer view of the queen's madness. <BR/><BR/>Here,in eh-saying land,we have our own Porfirio Diaz type quotes from Pierre Elliot Trudeau, who, besides saying things like "the government has no business in the nations bedrooms" and being despised by Nixon for being some kind of commie liberal, said , to paraphrase, Canada is a mouse sleeping with an elephant, and when the US sneezes we catch cold. Unfortunately, we are all going to be sat upon by the elephant in the room(or have I misunderstood the metaphor and we are all too short to copulate with the elephant of our perverse fantasies???)and probably catch the mother of all colds. <BR/>Un abrazo muy fuerte.Vil Mahoubeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681346532769481943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646589.post-54121502232938534772008-11-26T23:45:00.000+01:002008-11-26T23:45:00.000+01:00Absolutely right.

To these people, Mexico is just that old abandoned shack out back where we keep our mops and buckets...along with the people who use them.<BR/>As a U.S. citizen living in Buenos Aires, some of same said folks often ask me things like, "...Oh, is that in Mexico or Brazil?". I should mention that response can follow my naming either the city or the country. Don't even get me started on the national ignorance that another whole continent exists beyond the Mexican neighbors. Apparently everything south(or east, west or north for that matter)of the border is pretty much considered irrelevant and/or at fault for "America's decline". Surely those folks in the mirror are not to blame...for anything.<BR/>PhilipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
